With steve gone, I wonder if there's a future of Apple selling any excess chips for lower quality market competitors.

T410s

I started using a MacBook air after the 3rd replacement of my Lenovo T410s. The screen would have a large white line across it (happened 2 weeks after i got it) and each time it was replaced, it happend again. The body was also brittle, and cracked. Half the people on my team had the same laptop, and had near the same experience. How such a flawed laptop could pass quality control is past me, but I'll definitely never buy a laptop from them.

This is really exciting, I think there's a lot of potential in memristors, so seeing it used for a practical purposes is great news.

Your grandma is going to be dead soon. Let her stick with the mac, and let your sister have a better computer.

Wow. This is a huge vulnerability. I hope they fix this very soon. The cognitive dissonance going on with that twitter conversation makes me think he was talking to a bot. Also I love the "These cookies are secure" bit on the admin interface.

If it's not a unique disadvantage, do you really think it will affect sales? To overcome it I suppose they would need to find a more power efficient processor. MIMO is kind of a power hungry application what with the calculating a new spatial correlation matrix every few milliseconds. It would seem like the limitation will be universal to all other phones unless a phone manufacture buys some chip manufacturer with a mythical chip that solves the problem then keeps the tech to themselves.

Well I think in LTE the number of resource elements assigned to a UE will vary depending on the other phones connected to the eNodeB. So in theory it's not a problem anyways, because everyone will have an iPhone ;)

I would guess they're banking on LTE for the iPhone 5... so in that step up you'll see a much bigger upgrade, but as a technology LTE is probably a bit immature for Apple's standards.

It's hard to simulate poverty. Of course I can make the right decisions. I'm not hungry, and this is a game. Sure I'll choose to buy the cheapest, and healthiest food I can. Real life is different, after being hungry for a while my decisions would be different. I don't feel this game highlighted how the mentality of the situation compounds itself.

Burning out is a terrible feeling. As someone who got a job before finishing school, I spent the first few years of my career working literally 16 hour days. I felt the need to prove myself, and I worked hard to do it. After 3 or 4 years my life changed in some big ways, and the life style started to affect me extremely negatively. I continued to try to work more hours but I wasn't getting anything more done. It was like I had no more ambition to work. On one particular project I hit a big dip. I became depressed, I started neglecting things like laundry, or brushing my teeth, or eating. When the project ended, I got some time to recover a bit (but not fully) a year or so later I was on another stressful project. I think I hit my low during that. I almost became completely separated from reality for lack of a better description. I started having deep almost philosophical thoughts about what the point of life even is. Again my productivity dropped lower (and also my quality of work, and my communication) I tried to make up for it with extra hours, but it only made things worse. Eventually I quit, and found a better job that has been pretty strictly 9-5. Additionally I also stopped working on side projects for a while. I think a really important part is realizing that the situation I was in was not going to get better, and a complete change was necessary.

This is awesome!

It's a great MVP, Would love to see more break down options (such as pets)

I pre-ordered a fire. Honestly if i'm reading about some random topic (i was just reading a page about econometrics) if Amazon all of the sudden started recommending me books about econometrics, i'd be okay with it. As long as the recommendations are good.

for an enterprise application, that seems just about right in line.

This is great business, right now I have a lot of confidence in you guys.

Thank you. Pay pal should be obsolete now.

Any tips on finding a good place for a custom $99 logo?

That's... brilliant!

Well you would rephrase it. You could say, "We conveniently have a service center on Main St." (it knows you leave work at 5) "For your convenience, We're open until 8!"

You can let the customer put 2 and 2 together.

I recently bought a mac book air with Lion after my 3rd problem with the screen on my work provided Lenovo (T410s).

I've been using VMWare Fusion to develop. For the most part, I've been really loving it. The performance is pretty good, and it's nice to have osx for my non .net stuff. However there are a few areas I ran into problems. First I found I had to disable hardware acceleration in order to get WPF controls work. This has impacted rendering performance more than i'd wish. Second, and more painful, I've had issues with USB devices working (again a problem with the VM). For the most part I can work around these issues, but the work arounds have impacted me in undesired ways (for instance the application i'm working on requires a dongle for security, i've been working around it by leaving a hack in the code... but once I accidentally checked it in..). Finally, and probably my most petty (but most frustrating issue) is there is no home/end key (though i did find fn left and fn right work)

The thing is, while it is a lot of data in the grand scheme of things it is a fairly trivial amount of data. Terrabye hard drives can be had for less than $100 today.

It's fun to think that while foursquare may seem fairly trivial today, 100 years from now, it's historical record.

Ah, I see... so there's no one specific method to success?

Anyone looking to use this mans idea, and is looking for a domain name I own meatgalore.com, give me an email if you're interested!

I have never heard of ThemeForest before, but this site looks absolutely AMAZING! I feel i'm fairly capable of creating a design myself, but most of the time It probably is not the best place to put my efforts. This looks like a great way to get 70% of the effort done (only spending my time doing some slight tweaks).

There's always tag football.

This is seriously an awesome proof of technology, but what is a practical purpose for it?

As a fellow foodie, but in Boston, tell your project manager his site is right on for the area. All really great suggestions.

Boston is not in siberia.
